What does Terra smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evenings, leisure time and nights out come up most often as occasions. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Though it is unisex, about half of the voters find it more feminine.

It opens with mandarin orange, bergamot and neroli for a bright citrus lift. In the heart, vanilla, jasmine sambac and iris add a floral, powdery, gourmand softness. The base of vetiver, sandalwood, benzoin and patchouli settles it onto a woody, spicy footing.
